Tiffany Haddish’s Road To Success

Tiffany Haddish‘s success … is kind of like a sperm’s flight? Leave it to the Girls Trip star to share what could have been an off-putting analogy and make it seem downright charming.

The 38-year-old covers the latest issue W, and inside, she gets real about her successes and failures, and how her stint in the foster system and time homeless made her stronger.

• “In failure, there can be success. By that I mean you can learn what not to do. I find the funny in a lot of failures, because I’ve had enough of them,” the Girls Trip star says. “But I am resilient, my soul is very determined. Ever since I was a little sperm, surrounded by all those other sperm that were stronger than me, had a longer tail than my tail, swam faster than me, I made my way through. I got knocked into other sperm-it was a battle, but I made it to the end.”
• She also talks about her approach to getting snubbed in the Supporting Actress category at the Oscars this year.
• “I could have been mad,” Haddish says. “But I would always rather try to be funny in any situation. Even when people are laughing at me in a mean way, I still feel some kind of healing from it. When I get super-depressed, I’ll go on YouTube and look up ‘babies laughing’ just to change my mood.”
